Note, however, that if you specify the alpha value indicating transparency, then it is assumed that "255(0xff)" (opaque) was specified.
32-bit value (assigning each 8-bit segment, from high to low, to the αRGB values) |
Four eight-bit values, delimited by commas (assigning values from left to right to αRGB) |
Three eight-bit values, delimited by commas (assigning values from left to right to RGB) |
How to integrate the settings for channels into a pattern and switch the pattern from among multiple patterns |
You can integrate, save, and restore the settings for all channels. You can also select a pattern from among multiple patterns.
1. Make the settings for each channel. Shift the focus to the Analysis Chart panel,
select [Save Analysis Chart Data As...] from the [File] menu, and save the settings in the [Analysis Chart Data (*.mtac)] file format. In this case, the file name will include a pattern name such as analysis_graph_xx_pattern.mtac. Not including graph data in the file will reduce its size.
2. Set another pattern for a different channel and save the file with another name.
Repeat this step as many times as the number of patterns.
Creating files enables the management of deleting and copying patterns from the Explorer.
3. To use a saved pattern, select [Load from file] for the [Analysis method] property
on the [Variable Value Changing] tabbed page of the Property panel and specify the *.mtac file containing the pattern for the [Analysis chart data file] property. Restore the [Analysis method] property to its original setting.
